CTA Blue Line

CTA Blue Line service resumes following issue with ‘track conditions'

CTA train service Tuesday morning was suspended on the Forest Park Branch Blue Line between Forest Park and Harlem "due to track conditions," an alert from the agency said Tuesday morning.

According to officials, the service disruption began at 1:37 a.m. Tuesday.

"Service on the Blue Line has partially resumed, but remains suspended between Forest Park and Harlem (Forest Park Branch) due to track conditions," the CTA alert said.

According to the CTA, shuttle buses were available between Harlem and Forest Park to provide connecting service.

"We are working to restore service as quickly as possible," the alert said. "Allow extra travel time."

At 8:44 a.m., the CTA said service had resumed to "normal operations," and clarified that the disruption had been "caused by an issue with a work train/equipment near the Forest Park station."
